Yeah, oh my indeed. I think one of the hardest things to do is to buy gifts for people working in the lighting industry. I mean, it’s like anything technical, really – if it isn’t related to gaming, clothing, or nerdiness, then it’s something like a $16,000 spectroscope or a $3,000 dollar oscilloscope.
What? Who asks for that for christmas? Can Santa’s elves make that? Do they just contract that out or something?
The other hardest thing about buying presents for a lighting professional is when you forget to get them until the Monday before Christmas!! I went through Amazon this morning and grabbed some stuff that I think lighting people would like, and I listed some of it below. I picked stuff that I thought I would like to either give or receive – so good luck, and hurry up! Christmas is on Friday! AAAA! Two day shipping!
